Clean White Hands.

A little ammonia or boraX added to
the water you wash your hands with,
and that water just lullewarm, will
keep the skin clean and soft. A lit
tie oatmeal mixed with water will
whiten the hands. Many people use
glycerine on their hands when they
go to tel, wearing gloves to keep. the
bedding clean, utglycerine does not
agree with every one. 1t makes the
skin hard and red. These people
should rub their hands with dry oat-
meal and wear gloves in bed. The
best preparation for the hands at
night is white of egg with a grain OF
alum dissolved in it. White of egg.
barley -four, and money, is good APP
plication, but not better than oatmeal.
The toughest and hardest hands can
be made soft and white in month S
time by doctoring them little at
bedtime, and all that is required is a
nail-brush, bottle of ammonia, 4
box of powered borax, and little
fine white sand to rub the stains off,
or cut of lemon which will do even
better, for the acid of the lemon will
clean anything.-Selected.

NORTHWESTERN CARrETs.-If car
pets are badly infested, they should
be taken up and beaten and swept
thoroughly. Before relaying, scrub
the floor with hot water, getting plcn-
ty of it in the seams and creviccs.-
Give the floor time to dry and then
with feather or small brush, smear
kerosene under the base-boards and
in the cracks. Place all around the
edges strip of tarrcd paper, or
heavy paper soaked in melted tallow,
either of which will prevent the in
sects from getting underneath the
edges where the destruction generally
begins. If their ravagcs are just be-
ginning, and the carpet does not other
wise need taking up, put q wet cloth
over the spots infested, and press
heavily with n very hot iron. The
steam thus driven through the carpet
will destroy all eggs and larvae.

Tooaoou Still Going Up.

AAohlHNilAo NNhAltlNialst
The tobacco brakes of the city are
alive with business. Prices are con-
stanty advancing, and an unusually
large number Of buyers are here
from distance.
The frosls of last Saturday and the
days preceding have been the sub
ject of much discussion among to-
bacco men everywhere. During the
first days Of the week and owing TO
the general report of the damages
done by the frost, flne hurley adj
vanced about - per hundred, and
the market at Cincinnati and else
where was affected in a like propor-
ton. Since the first jump, however,
Gne tobaccos have gone no higher,
and the steady advance has been in
the lower grades of hurley and dark
tObaccos. The latter have advanced
every day somewhat, and brought
fl ON 81 80 to 81 per hundred more
than ever before, The advance in
the lower grades is hardly attribute
Bile 10 the frost, as the most injury
done to the present crop is the cut
ting of green tobacco to save it from
frost, and the tobacco already cut
being rained upon while uncured.
This will swell the crop of lower
grades, and the long drought added
to these troubles will leave but little
fine tobacco in the whole crop.
In the spring tho small planting
followed by lack of plants, then the
drouih followed by the late frosts
and rains have kept the prices con-
stantly advancing throughout the
spring and summer, and the brokers
and spectators have coined money
all along. AS an evidence of the
number of local Spectators, there
were six months ago 1000 hogsheads
in the city, 10000 have changed
hands, and the monthly report TO be
made in few days will show 10000
hogsheSds in the hands of local
warehouse men and brokers. The
few who bought lower grades Of
Burnley in March and April and are
still holding them can now realize
from 200 to $50 per cent. profit.
Lugs ana common leaf, which sold
then for 81 and SO and 81, are now
bringing from Sc TO IS per hundred
1t is the opinion of local dealers,
however, that the buyers begin TO
know with certainty what the new
crop will be, and that there will be
but little further advance in prices
until a scarcity in the particular
grades wanted begins to be felt.

THE TENNESSEE ELECTION.
Prohibition Defeated by a Maori
ty Of 10000 and Upward.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 50.--The
majority given against the prohibit
tory amendment yesterday is esti-
mated at 10000, and it is possible
that this figure may be exceeded.
Nearly all the middle and west Ten
nes,ee counties heard from give large
majorities against the amendment,
twenty -four throwing an aggregate
of 1895. The prohibition majorities
reported in the same part of the state
is only 5000. The majority for the
prohibitionists in east Tennessee is
estimated at $4,000. The prohibition
lists expect to hold the balance of
power in the legislature two years
hence.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 30.-Offi-
cial and semi.oilicial returns from
fifty counties in the state, represent
ing about 6S per cent of the vote cast,
show a majority Of 9,9SS against the
prohibition amendment. This ratio
will give a majority against the
amendment of about 10000. The
vote exceeds that cast at the last gub-
ernatorial election, when the Taylor
brothers were candidates.
